Grinnell is kind of cool

April 17, 2009 - Bennet Goldstein

Grinnell was recently listed at one of the coolest small towns in America. The little time I’ve spent there I would say this is pretty accurate. I’ve been to the theater there which is new and nice and the college alone provides events most are not able to experience in small towns. But my favorite Grinnell spot is Arbor Lake, a small body of water where you can walk around on a trail. Me and my wife walked around it last fall as the leaves were changing and it was so peaceful. I’m really to old to define "cool," but I think Grinnell is in the vicinity of cool.
